Hi Kim,

I may have found what was causing that PMODE/W error.  I had the netmail
area described manually as "Fido NetMail".  Just on a hunch, I
changed that to just "NETMAIL" and Ctrl-F worked!  Ctrl-E also
worked but not quite as expected. ;)

I also found the reason why the subject wasn't being filled in when used on
an Alias line.  Msged's okay.  The "doc" isn't.  Here's the new
documentation for "Alias":

;---------------------------------------------------------------------
; Alias   
[ ["subject"]]
; Aliases are used to simplify the entry of names, addresses and
; subjects, rather like macros useable in Carbon Copies and normal msg
; header entry.  This way, you simply type in the alias, press enter,
; and the rest is filled in for you.  Internet addressing is supported
; as well.  You must use quotes if a name or subject contains spaces.
; An 'n' in the attribute field means use the current area's default.
; You MUST specify an attribute (even if only 'n') if you define a
; subject.
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
;Alias af   "AreaFix"               1:116/32      pk  PASSWORD
;Alias ra   "Raid"                  1:116/32      n   PASSWORD
;Alias bs   "Bob Sewell"            1:116/30.3
;Alias dw   "Danny Walters"         1:116/0
;Alias kl   "Kim Lykkegaard"        2:235/203.26
;Alias sb   "cades{at}nashville.com"   UUCP

It'll work with commas as well as spaces but an attribute HAS to be defined
for the subject to be filled in. :)
